THE GRUNGY DUNGAREES -Working At The Black Label Brewery




The lost tape has been found! A former member of a band called,"Restaurant Sinks",from the 80's,in WA.,sent in the original tape,with a ton of great photos of Grungy Dungarees.The title comes ,apparently,from some of the band members working at the Black Label Brewery,in WA(also some photos of this place). The term ,"grunge",was appropriated from their name ,to designate the new scene.Altho' this was recorded in 1989,just before any grunge bands made it big.The band,members of which later went onto big fame,once again use fake monikers,totally different from the second album.This is a historical piece,and I wish to extend my deepest gratitude to Andy Sordid,for sending this treasure of a relic!Without him,no one would ever have heard this tape,as only a few copies were duped by band members,for close friends,with the stipulation,that it would not make it to the ears of the public.Internet searches turn up nothing on this band.Truly groundbreaking sounds,as Joe Walsh and The Stooges,are covered,along with swell originals.Culled from several recording sessions,at Jack Joe's Studio,in WA.

THE GRUNGY DUNGAREES-the collective spasms of.....




This is a virtually unknown,unreleased band from the grunge days of the early 90's.Recorded in two days in may of '90,in a smelly house.They do these freaky instrumentals,as well as some singing.They also cover a strange cross section of bands:Stooges(2 times),Misfits,Pink Floyd,Link Wray,Sexboy,Sockeye,and,The Blood Red Oscars.This is an essential document of music from the transition into grunge music.They may even have coined the phrase,"grunge",as it relates to music,and their band was such named before the term was being used,at all.Probably the most important band of it's time,inspiring bands like the ones in the Seattle grunge scene.May even include members who later went on to fame in bands that made lots of money later,but here they use made-up names,and there is no info at all,anywhere about these guys.Almost like the Memphis Goons of the grunge scene. There may be a lost tape out there,as well.
